Official blog of Paadal.com
I am sure you have noticed that Paadal.fm now redirects to Paadal.com. This is important move. Paadal is now ONE brand and ONE product. Initially when I thought about the concept of stations, I figured it would be a good idea to have a new application. This is a bad decision for 3 reasons,
1. For a tiny site like Paadal, its hard to maintain 2 brands and it segregates the audience.
2. FM domain costs more than COM. The smaller the costs, the longer the application can live to serve its purpose.
3. If you are a techie you will know that maintaining 2 applications (sharing code, deployment etc) is harder than one.
Paadal Radio is not yet fully integrated. The plan is to move the radio player to the popup window as well. Google Login & Facebook Login will be added soon.
In future, i will also start working on some of the requested features in the feedback section.

Glad you liked the site. Also, thank you for promoting the site to your friends. For now, i can manage the site with the funds i have. So i am not asking for any donations. I appreciate the offer. Its very hard to find people who are willing to pay for good service. As for technical help, i will get in touch with you if needed.
Thanks once again for the offer.

Fine site, the simplicity of the design is very powerful. You should think of creating IPAD/IPhone App and make it a success. BTW, I have been recommending your site for many of my friends. Keep up!.

totally agree on the one domain part instead of two brands. +1 if you need a hand in getting any features ironed out.
This has been my one stop place for most music needs! Thanks a ton.

This is one of the best web site in the recent memory especially in Tamil sites. In term of usability, I would rate this site to equal top web sites such as American Express. I have already shared in my facebook and with some other friends as well.
This site alleviates hitches of player download, shrewd song selection, and user registrations which are the main factors deterred from being listing online music. I would think this site will bring hefty amount of users in a short period of time. You will have to think about retaining the users for a long run. I guess you find some way to find the monetary benefit from this site.
Please post address I will send a cheque if this you don’t get offended. I guess MVC/Jquery powers up.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for those kind words. Also thanks for sharing the site with your friends. Its because of people like you Paadal gets ~5000 visitors a day. No money is spent on marketing. We are not looking to monetize the site any time soon. If we decide to make money, you will be the first to know and we will take the check from you then.. just kidding
Keep listening. Enjoy the music.

Kudos for such an amazing website.. Had been longing for one like this for a long time. Usually the other ones out there either have less songs or a lot of ads. Yours truly beats the others pants down in that. And Paadal Radio stations is a feature that deserves special mention. Helps a lot for lazy people like me to listen to music non-stop without choosing songs one by one. Anything to keep the site running the same way without no ads what so ever. Just name it! I can help with any mobile apps design stuff if needed.
Cheers.
